The half-elf Shinnareth, the daughter of two of the greatest heroes in the land, comes of age in a moderately sized coastal elven town. The local priestess, and her own dreams, indicate that she is destined to be the sole survivor of a great ‘Dream Cataclysm’. The spectre of invasion and war looms large over the town, and the heirloom sword she has inherited bears an ancient, sentient presence. As she crosses this important threshold, several threads of fate weave together. What lies in store for this daughter of destiny, crossing this conflux of fate?
Reflections in the Darksome Mirror is a dark fantasy audiobook, supplemented at appropriate moments by dice rolls, and using a background of TTRPG elements to lend it a sense of randomness and drama. If you are a fan of deep, flowery prose and rich worldbuilding, willing to immerse yourself in a longer form podcast, and have a somewhat lengthier attention span, then Reflections in a Darksome Mirror may be for you.
